Ticket Sales Issues from London
The presales for the London shows at the Royal Albert Hall was not without issues. Many fans complained at the cost of the presales tickets because they were the best seats and therefore the most expensive. I paid £250 per ticket including the usual raft of additional charges from Ticketmaster. Some pointed out that other shows are more expensive and that “cheaper” seats were available after the pre-sales had taken place. Either way, still very expensive.
Also, the Ticketmaster website is not great in terms of making people queue to be allocated a short time frame to buy tickets. The system sounds good on paper but people made it to the front of the queue only to be met with error messages and tickets disappearing after being allocated. The little timer clock would spin round and nothing happened. Make sure you are logged in before attempting to get in the queue, don’t leave that to the last minute. Also, perhaps get in a queue for something popular today to make sure your computer is working correctly and lets you get to the checkout. This might avoid some stress for you.
I wanted to watch David Gilmour live on the Saturday night but ended up on Thursday. No biggie, I will just have extra time in London checking out the real ale scene. No problem at all.
